SLM Mission

Our mission is to teach behavior change and extend life expectancy through the self-love model. Our goal is to help leaders, partners, medical professionals, students, and all cultures and people groups learn the philosophy of self-love to create healthy relationships and living.

Empower

We teach the tools to become an innovator. We offer truth within the self-modification processors of the Self (e.g. mind, body, spirit, soul). We offer the scientific formula from The Self-Love Model, created by our founder and human behavior researcher Elsie Blass (PhD student), to extend the life expectancy of all cultures and groups.

What is split brain? Having the corpus callosum severed or absent, so as to eliminate the main connection between the two hemispheres of the brain. [Dictionary.com]

What causes split brain? Causes of split-brain syndrome. The primary cause of split-brain syndrome is intentional severing of the corpus callosum, partially or completely, through a surgical procedure known as corpus callosotomy [https://www.britannica.com/science/split-brain-syndrome]

An explanation of how split-brain patients demonstrate the organization of the brain.

Split brain individuals experience a surgical severe in the corpus callosum. This method prevents seizures while also halting the communication between both the right and left hemisphere.

The organizational factors of the brain in patients who have experienced split brain is the interpretation of the communication given through language (Breedlove, S.M. 2017).

According to Breedlove (2017), right visual cortex stimulates the corpus callosum fibers. The information then transmits it to the left hemisphere. The information is then processed and brings about language. Likewise, when visual stimuli from the left field, it is then given to the right hemisphere. When the split takes place, the communication is then disconnected from a transmission.

While hundreds of axons are severed without changing one’s behavior, it is still noted that the separation in communication bring an understanding of the one hemisphere is not able to travel for faster or initial clarity. Split brain individuals can read and verbally share words they’ve sent to the left hemisphere. However, the understanding of the objects shapes and drawings can provide clues as to what is been seen (Breedlove, S.M. 2017).

Research

the systematic investigation into and study of materials and sources in order to establish facts and reach new conclusions.

Two hemispheres exist with different brain communication processes (Uddin, 2011).

Information can still be processed through both hemispheres (Uddin, 2011).

Differences

Different identities are formed (Macqueen, 2011).

Sharing a brain with another human being (Uddin, 2011).

Two hemispheres exist and surgically severed (Uddin, 2011).

Personhood

Personhood in split-brain individuals explores self-representation and self-relating processes. They each have their own personalities, visual stimuli, and cues. Their processes are defined by the ability to explore self-recognition, ownership, and agency. Information can still be transferred through subcortical pathways only when the cortical commissures are no available. (Uddin, 2011).

I hope you all enjoyed learning something new or reviewing my research and findings on split brain. There is so much more to this phenomenon. What is stated here are facts you can add to your knowledge base.
